Language

Before children can learn the sound/spelling relationships that constitute the written language, they need to understand how individual sounds or phonemes, work together to create spoken language. This awareness of how the system works is called Phonemic awareness. This is the first piece of the foundation children need to go on to the next step, which is assigning written symbols to these sounds.

We are using the sound cards we have learned to help us read and also spell. We started turning over our letter cards daily.

Writing

We will begin writing through details in pictures, choosing a topic, and work our way into getting our thoughts on paper through words. We will practice using spaces between words as we write our thoughts. The students will also review and practice the formation of letters. The goal is to be able to write complete sentenences on a topic.
